fire water, breather,
Press Release 1/5/2020
There’s something really satisfying about getting a new track out. Especially when it didn’t take me years to finish. Fire, water breather is my first breaks track since “Marigold” yet I often forget how much of the way I started listening to dance music, came from big beat, breaks and other broken style
Listening back to it the red and the blue came to mind, and I noticed in hindsight how much The Doors have influenced my style. It comes out in the melody and tone of this track.
This is the first track I’ve released that doesn’t contain any guitar, and not for want of trying to put it in. There is much more taken out of this, including many words. Yet chopped and diced they are still there. Here is the poem that you can look at where the track gets its name from:
Fire water breather
Extinguisher
Father brother son
Lover
Since the dawn the light has risen
Back to fill and widen my eyes
Yet my brain,
Like a muscle
retains the limps from the fall
The crutch rubbing under the arm
To heal the wound is so hard
When the tissue that fell
Lies as smoke on the breeze
